Please explain to me

Can someone please explain a yankee to me?? I know how it works a bit, but I dont understand the payouts and the stakes part.. Thanx

You pick 4 horses/selections

The bet consists of 11 bets so a R10 yankee costs R110

6 Doubles
4 Trebles
1 ATC

You need 2 winners to get a return..

ps you can also play e/w 22 bets

Yankee :
A Yankee consists of 11 bets involving 4 selections in different events. The bet includes 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and an accumulator. A minimum of 2 of your selections must be successful to get a return.

The term Yankee (sometimes shortened to Yank) has several interrelated meanings, referring to people from the United States. Outside the US it it is used to refer to people from the US in general, whereas within the US it refers to people originating in the northeastern US, or still more narrowly New England, where application of the term is largely restricted to descendants of the English settlers of the region.

The meaning of Yankee has varied over time. In the 18th century, it referred to residents of New England descended from the original English settlers of the region. Mark Twain, in the following century, used the word in this sense in his novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, published in 1889. As early as the 1770s, British people applied the term to any person from what became the United States. In the 19th century, Americans in the southern United States employed the word in reference to Americans from the northern United States (though not to recent immigrants from Europe; thus a visitor to Richmond, Virginia, in 1818 commented, "The enterprising people are mostly strangers; Scots, Irish, and especially New England men, or Yankees, as they are called").

Outside the United States, Yankee is slang for anyone from the United States. The truncated form Yank is especially popular among Britons, and may sometimes be considered offensive or disapproving.
